Kente College

All visitors to Adanwomase testify to the fact that, the community is tourist hassle free. This does not only show hospitality among the local people or our workers, but also quality services we provide to our customers.

 
At distance away from Kumasi, this is a great village to visit! NOBODY hassles you while in town and the kente weaving tour is a must-see while in country (whether at Adanwomase or not is, I suppose, up to the reader).  We got very reasonable souvenirs (Kente strips at 5-8GhC, coin purses for 3GhC, etc) and learned from our informative tour guide, Seth, all about the process. I would highly suggest it; the cost now being 5Ghc per person plus 50p for unlimited photos.  Another strange thing: this town has garbage cans!  In order to get there you actually want to alight at Nkwanta (not Ntonso like the map and book suggest). We aren’t sure whether the name got changed recently, but they dropped us in Nkwanta after we asked for Ntonso and it was the correct place… I believe it was somewhere around 40p per person for the taxi/trotro ride to and from the town" SOURCE

 

 Tourists who want to to learn kente weaving for pleasure can come to Adanwomase and be caterd for. Several of our valued tourists have come and passsed out year after year since 2006. It is quite different sitting in the loom and peddling the legs. it gives much pleasure.
